This movie is a creative horror flick that plays on the clichés, then turns them on their head. And what I mean by that is you have the typical *STUPID* Jamie Lee Curtis chick who is trying to survive this horror experience, making all the outrageous, typical mistakes that make you bang your head against the wall and pray that she dies...
1. She has the killer down, but doesn't finish him. 2. She leaves a gun by his side. 3. She wastes time, exploring places, exploring the killer's personal goods - even watching videos - when she knows her time is limited. 4. She takes SECOND gun, doesn't take extra bullets... then leaves her SECOND gun because she HAS to explore the cold, dark cellar for NO REASON, and needs to climb a latter to get down.
These are but 4 of the extremely stupid things she does in this movie... but what keeps this movie from being a 2 and, in my eyes, redeeming itself fully is that, while I was praying for this stupid bint to die... this movie ANSWERS my PRAYERS! This script didn't award her with a Jamie Lee Curtis remarkable escape, despite sabotaging her own efforts at every turn with stupidity. The stupid bint gets stabbed, gutted and dismembered. Perhaps I'm a twisted individual, but I actually screamed: "Yes!" as he was killing her.
The acting was passable, the script only marginal... but this realistic twist was enough to make me remember this movie and think highly of it, even after it was over.
Good work!
